    India Red Ale

    I had a lovely hoppy India Red Ale from the tap at my local on the weekend, it is brewed by Hope brewery in the Hunter Valley NSW & whilst their website lists the ingredients etc I have no idea of the quantities of each. Has anyone made this beer or can provide some guidance on the quantities to...

    Where to get cheap hops and grain in sydney.

    I am a regular at the Peakhurst and Kirawee home brew shops. One thing I realised very quickly was that it works out far cheaper to buy your base grains in 25kg bags from these guys. For example if you buy it by the kg its about $4.50-$5.5 per kg. If you buy in bulk it works out to about $2.50...

    Using old Yeast as Nutrient

    I read somewhere that you can use old dry yeast (the stuff that comes with kit & kilo kits) as yeast nutrient. I have several packs that came under the caps of cans of LME but I'm not sure when to use it as a nutrient. Does it get pitched into the wort at the end of the boil? I suspect putting...

    Rocks Brewing Hangman Pale Ale

    I recently had a couple of brews from The Rocks Brewing Co. They were Hangman Pale Ale And The Boxer Red Ale. They were both great beers which I would like to try to replicate in my own humble 5 gallon garage brewery. I was told that the owner/brewmaster at Rocks was previously a home Brewer...

    Whirlpool

    Been reading this thread with a lot of interest as I am a new Brewer and have yet to do an all grain (still getting all the gear together) I have an old keg that I have converted to a kettle with a half inch ball valve and a T shape hop filter that connects to the ball valve and sits at the...

    0 minute hops

    Maybe you more knowledgeable guys could post this question/request for software update on the Beersmith forum related to Beersmith 2 software questions. http://www.beersmith.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0 You never know it might be an easy update for the programmers to plug in.

    0 minute hops

    OK while we're at it I understand that whirlpooling leaves most of the crud in a bit of a pile at the center of the kettle after the boil is done. Is the idea for it to stay there whilst the wort is slowly drained off via the ball valve fitting at the bottom of the kettle to enhance the clarity...

    0 minute hops

    Im fairly new to brewing and am starting to prepare equipment, knowledge, and mentally go over all the steps for my first all grain attempt. Apologies in advance if this is a silly question? The only concept im struggling with at the moment is the addition of zero minute hops to the boil...

    Pot & Bag for partial mash or all grain

    Yeah I think I will start with 18L batches so that I can get about 4 dozen 330ml stubbies out of the batch, allowing for a bit of wastage. I'm keen to try so many different all grain recipies so I agree that smaller batches are the go for now until I settle on a few favourites. I have downloaded...

    Pot & Bag for partial mash or all grain

    Thanks for all your replies, one more question, is it adviseable to use an alluminium strainer pot (like a crab pot) to place the voile bag in when using the BIAB method? I was planning to use it to hoist the bag and drain into the pot. I was going to make one and its much easier to work with...

    Esky size for mash tun

    I have a 40 litre esky that I would like to modify to make it into a mash tun. Do you guys think it will be big enough to mash in taking into consideration the grain bill for a 20-23 litre outcome in the FV? Thanks Peter

    Pot & Bag for partial mash or all grain

    Thanks to all for your tips and advice so far, I will pop down to my local Spotlight store tomorrow for the voile stuff. Just opened a stubble of my Red Ale after 17 days in the bottle and whilst it popped when I removed the cap it goes flat pretty quick (I'm using a very clean Headmaster...

    Pot & Bag for partial mash or all grain

    As I have never done an all grain brew before I was planning to do a BIAB with as much water as possible to bring it up to near the rim, then once the mash is done remove the bag and sparge with enough water to to bring it up to around the 20-23L mark depending on the OG reading. Once that is...
